Rangers star Vaclav Cerny needs focus on the football | OneFootball

We admit it’s not been the best few days for Vaclav Cerny. The Rangers on-loan winger struggled a bit in Sweden, and that big chance was something of a doozy, it must be said.

There was an unfair reaction to it, with a bunch of fans jumping on his back, and that toxicity seemed to hang onto him going into Hibs, as he laboured for any creativity, and as the match wore on got more and more frustrated till he misplaced a pass, got groaned at, and reacted badly to fans.

Ibrox Noise likes Cerny, we think he’s a big talent and we’ve seen a lot of evidence of this already, but he’s never played for a club as big as Rangers before and the one big five league he played in, Germany, didn’t work out too well for him.

The league he shone in was Holland, just like Sam Lammers, and just like the former Rangers striker, Cerny got off to a good start initially at Ibrox.

Just recently he’s come in for some stick, a touch unfairly, but that angry response to fan exasperation wasn’t a good look at all.

We do not want to turn on a player with a market value of around £10M who is clearly the best winger we have – but he does need to stop frustration getting to him.

The rotten Fabio Silva and Todd Cantwell fell into that trap, and that was their Rangers careers done, thankfully in both cases. They both got into fan spats and that pretty much nailed their Rangers coffins. Silva is now struggling at Las Palmas in LaLiga, incidentally, and Cantwell hasn’t done much at Championship Blackburn either.

But Cerny is still new at Rangers – he’s a good player, and he’s shown that already, but the last thing the boy needs to do is make enemies of the fans.

He said he wanted the pressure of Rangers, that this was a great move for him – he needs to handle the expectation and the ‘niggles’ from the fans when he makes a mistake.

That’s what happens at big clubs.

Cerny just needs a couple of good displays and the fans will be back onside with him again – because as things stand, there’s murmuring of discontent in his direction.

Let’s keep it all onside.
